Victoria Dock Village, Kingston upon Hull
Victoria Dock opened 3 July 1850 and closed to commercial traffic 1 February 1970. The following year the dock, except for the half-tide basin, was filled in. The No. 2 slipway engine house and the bridge between the dock and the half-tide basin were retained. In 1987 the City Council acquired the dock estate from Associated British Ports (ABP). The same year, the Council entered into a partnership with Bellway Homes Ltd to redevelop the estate for new homes, a marina, a park, playing fields, community centre, maritime museum and community school. House-building commenced 11 May 1988. Further reading: ‘Hull’s Victoria Dock Village’ by Colin McNicol, 106pp, 2002.
